Since the Bali bombings of 2002 and the rise of political Islam,
Indonesia has frequently occupied media headlines. Nevertheless,
the history of the fourth largest country on earth remains
relatively unknown. Adrian Vickers' book, first published in 2005,
traces the history of an island country, comprising some 240
million people, from the colonial period through revolution and
independence to the present. Framed around the life story of
Pramoedya Ananta Toer, Indonesia's most famous and controversial
novelist and playwright, the book journeys through the social and
cultural mores of Indonesian society, focusing on the experiences
of ordinary people. In this new edition, the author brings the
story up to date, revisiting his argument as to why Indonesia has
yet to realise its potential as a democratic country. He also
examines the rise of fundamentalist Islam, which has haunted
Indonesia since the fall of Suharto.
